Googly Eye Picture Frame.....

Brought to you by the one and only !!!!!

My exclamation marks look ridiculous next to that gigantic word.

What am I blogging about??? Ahhh yes.... my googly eye picture frame! So my school does "Secret Pals" for teachers at school. You fill out a simple questionnaire and then give it to the "head person in charge." She goes around with all the questionnaires (folded up so no one can see) and you draw one of the papers and that is your secret pal. Then you send weekly little gifts to your pal with little notes encouraging them for the week or day. Did any of that make sense? Anyway... on the question asking "what do you collect?" my pal said "frames."

So the light bulb went off and I decided to make her a picture frame similar to

Easy easy easy. I found a frame a Hobby Lobby for 50% off... so I spent $5.00

I placed the different size eyes first in a small area.

Using one of the best inventions of all time... the hot glue gun.... I hot glued my googly eyes onto the frame.

I used 3 different sizes. There was one smaller eye but my friend reminded me that I was likely to burn the crap out of myself if I used the tiny eyes. I am sure she is 100% correct.

After the googly eyes were glued on, I found some lime green card stock and some of my favorite sticker letters. I cut the card stock to fit and spelled "EEK!"

The finished product! I really like how the eyes even lose the googly eye look and become a pattern.

I want to sneak it into her room, but I'll probably drop it by the office and ask the secretary if she could have an office helper deliver it to her.
